Thankful Thursday

As I stood on the train that I had boarded The Conductor said..." Donetta this is your stop"
I opened my eyes to the day.
Waking like this tells me my day will be an adventure.
That this is my stop my destination for His purpose.
I heard cabinets closing in the kitchen and the dog food being stirred.
Upon entering the kitchen I found Dash standing above a very enthusiastic Willy (The Chocolate Lab) chomping down his breakfast. Dash had sat in the pantry and dished up the remnant's of the last of the kibble.
Dog food...I am almost out. Then I recalled that yesterday I got a coupon for 15% off. Provision. :)
My Beloved is out of Breakfast cookies and the butter was thawed and in the mixer (Vanilla Spin). She awaited my work for her.
I serve her she, she serves us. Cookie dough on the counter before 7 A.m. My husband will not go hungry tomorrow morning.
Children playing and getting to say good bye to their daddy before he left. The satisfaction of the day began. The knowledge of the porch being clean and the crew coming next week for the yard. Leaves me a little relieved that I just have to clean up the dung. :)
My daughter turned OFF the TV and they just ran off to play together in their room.
Happy to be with each other.
My warm cup of tea soothing a sore joint in my left hand. The heat was healing me as the tea sent its refreshing energy into my veins. Not yet 7:30 my kids fed and dressed playing and I here at my keyboard playing too:)
My adventure begins.
Began it with an invitation from the "Conductor"
This is my stop, my day my privileged life.

A beautiful post Donetta. You show appreciation for the things that many take for granted. I think that God wants His children to be thankful for it all, not just the things that seem extra special. I'm trying to get better at doing that. This morning, I heard the first song bird of Spring. It was so exciting; I said thank you to God. And I meant it.

Oh - yummy - home-made cookies always make the house smell so good :)

I am glad that the tea is helping your aching hands.

Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart.

Be blessed today and always.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
